OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes the gamma subunit of cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase, which is composed of alpha- and beta- catalytic subunits and two identical, inhibitory gamma subunits. This gene is expressed in rod photoreceptors and functions in the phototransduction signaling cascade. It is also expressed in a variety of other tissues, and has been shown to regulate the c-Src protein kinase and G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PDE6G can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PDE6G as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PDE6G could matter depends on whether native PDE6G is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PDE6G is annotated at the cell surface, where native PDE6G is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PDE6G as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
